Description

Recently, my husband and I decided to have date night at home. We scoured the grocery store for a special menu and decided on an evening filled with delicious seafood and easy recipes. These oysters are tender, buttery and slightly spicy. This recipe would be great for an intimate dinner or to serve with some white wine at your next party.

Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons Softened, Unsalted Butter
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1-½ teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley Flakes
  • 1 Tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 12  Shell On Fresh Oysters

Preparation

1. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients, except oysters. Spoon the mixture into a piece of plastic wrap and shape into a log. Tightly seal it inside the plastic wrap and place into the freezer for 10 minutes.
2. While the butter is firming, carefully open the oysters to create oysters on the half shell.
3. Carefully place a small slice of the firmed compound butter onto each exposed oyster.
4. Place on a preheated grill on high heat. Close the lid.
5. Cook for 6 minutes.
6. Serve immediately.
